Routine joke feature Now for a change of pace: A Castlevania joke. So Soma Cruz's cell phone rang one day, and it was his business associate, Hammer. Hammer announced in a somewhat exasperated tone, "Hey, Soma! I'm calling you with my new army-loaned cell phone from on the freeway!" Soma said, "Uh, okay, that's nice. But I think you should be careful. I heard on my cell-radio that there's some nuthead over where you are that's driving the wrong way on the freeway." To which Hammer replied, "One nuthead!? There's hundreds of them!!!" Introduction Ahoy, and hello to you! Yes, this is my user page, the one I have set up as my outpost on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can fiddle around with. I am Erik Jensen, a 20-year-old (as of August 7: Jimbo Wales would be proud!) white male editing from California where times are registered 7 hours late by this site’s time scale, but you can just call me Erik wherever I appear. My ethereal visage can be found here, which is a link to my college multimedia teacher's own site. You’ll find a Quicktime movie starring me and all my classmates that teaches the effects of drugs on our various psychoses. I'm the first guy in the montage waving the pencil, and also the one at the end with the beautiful yellow teeth... Okay, I'll just leave it at that! Now for some elaboration on what I actually do as a Wikipedian. I primarily do heavy editing work at Nintendo-related articles, and my main focuses are on Pokemon, Golden Sun, and Super Smash Bros-related articles. Mainly because I know more about these subjects than I do my own body... But anyway, as a member of the Pokémon Collaborative project (WP:POKE), the brunt of my editing revolves around taking what exists in the biology/characteristics and video game sections of any given Pokemon creature article like this, re-organizing and expanding the info of those sections into organized, mostly encyclopedic sets of passages like this, and therefore leaving the article itself with a solid base for the rest of the WP:POKE team to idealize into something like this (In other words, I won't bother with the intro, anime, and merchandising stuff, hopefully leaving that for everyone else). Sound good? I know I'm good working this way. And please don’t hesitate to talk to me about anything I may do wrong; I won't bite. ^_^

My News Section (Click Here for alternative title to section) Castlevania Sorrow Project Update I've now created List of characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series, and am hoping to merge Mina Hakuba, Yoko Belnades, Julius Belmont, and Hammer (Castlevania) into there, while keeping Soma Cruz and Genya Arikado in their own articles. I know there's already a List of Castlevania characters page there, but I think it'd be an improvement to at least merge those side character articles I talked about into one place. I'm not quite sure if I'll ever ger around to rewriting Dawn of Sorrow, though. Erik Jensen (I appreciate talk!) 19:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC) Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, geezers, teen rebels, and innocent children: I, Erik Jensen, am proud to be part of the committee that brings to you on this fine encyclopedia the Pokémon of the fourth generation. We of WP:POKE will be managing Template:Pokenum badgering beasties and other odd organisms just for you. You read that right: Template:Pokenum. As we tear into these new articles, you might think that full coverage couldn't possibly come in a short amount of time (even after Saturday), and you would certainly be right. Which is why I say to you, the reader, an important concept by the time Saturday rolls around: All help appreciated! Hmm. Since all the new Pokémon are based on games that aren't coming out here in America for a little while longer, I'll keep on giving life and love to the preceding 386 Pokémon, which in turn contains the previous 251, which in turn contains the original 151 Pocket Monsters… Whoever said 151 was more than enough? :) Erik Jensen (I appreciate talk!) 01:50, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Association of Mergist Wikipedians The Original Barnstar A barnstar for doing a full rewrite of the Shuppet article. Ac1983fan (talk • contribs) 20:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC) The Original Barnstar For all your contributions to the Pokémon Collaborative Project, you are awarded a barnstar, Minun (talk) 17:21, 30 June 2006 (UTC) This was certainly intriguing, but this is undeniably classic! And this and this makes it even more so. Come see my interpretation of all that at /Erik's Rationale. The work of a trusted confidant. Maybe it's just me, but I didn't find this to be all that funny... My Dick outshines your Dick, mister Black. [1]This I have long believed to be the standard in the sort of article Wikipedia vilifies, 'til recently that is. This is very good. What makes it funny is that the subject matter, especially in the second paragraph, seems to be entirely true. This category seems to be missing a pair. As far as I know, each fictional male has a pair for himself. This has to be the most gut-bustingly funny article version ever posted on Wikipedia.

Wiki Berries A Wiki Berry is an item in the GBA Pokemon games that increases health but has a chance to leave its consumer confused. Now I know there's a connection between that and this online encyclopedia that's on everybody's mind constantly, but is the berry named after the 'pedia or is it the other way around? Whatever the case, in an attempt to get into character, I invented my own term for giving an article a much-needed expansion, which is "giving it a Wiki-Berry." The resulting scope for confusion can safely be left to the imagination. Well anyway, this is a list of my most major rewrites on Wikipedia. For clarity, I have all non-Pokemon-related articles arranged up here: Non-Pokemon pages: Golden Sun Golden Sun: The Lost Age (Both, especially this one, nearly completely rewritten.) List of characters in Golden Sun (Special thanks to Wolfgang Landgraf at Home of the Golden Sun for providing the images.) Weyard Psynergy (Man, I feel like some sort of Adept Crusader.) Advance Wars (I used my Super Wiki-Power, "Editing Storm"...) Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (...to eradicate the forces of Lord Ugly and Von Cruft.) Advance Wars: Dual Strike (And all this without having even played this third game in particular!) As for all the Pokémon creature articles, I have made my more major rewrites to the ones in the following Pokedex-ordered list below, so that each one of them is now next to complete. Though I worked on many more pages, they were just card info in general, but these are huge rewrites of biology sections, video game info, and reorganizations of entire sections, in addition to any missing card info. All Pokemon in bold are the ones that are the most recent (they have been done since the start of August 2006): First Generation: Butterfree Beedrill Sandslash Wigglytuff Golbat Venonat (Sure gave this one a lot of love) Slowpoke Slowbro Farfetch'd Seel Chansey Goldeen Mr. Mime Jynx Tauros Ditto Articuno Moltres Mewtwo (Aye, this is the big one for me. Huge rewrite.) Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns (Yeesh, Mewtwo must be my brainchild!) Mew (Pokémon) (And let's not forget the important one.) Second Generation Furret Crobat Natu Marill Azumarill Aipom Sudowoodo Misdreavus (Hmm, should two of these be called Misdreavi?) Unown Wobbuffet Magcargo Corsola Donphan Hitmontop Blissey Entei (Hot dog!) Lugia Third Generation Silcoon Beautifly Cascoon Dustox Seedot Shiftry Gardevoir (This sure was layered out wrong.) Masquerain Breloom Slakoth (Perhaps the best example of the kinds of edits I make.) Slaking Shedinja Makuhita Hariyama Nosepass Delcatty Medicham Roselia Carvanha Sharpedo Wailord Grumpig Spinda Altaria Seviper Lunatone Solrock Barboach Claydol (Sure brought this page up to speed.) Cradily Milotic Shuppet Absol Wynaut Glalie Spheal Sealeo Walrein Luvdisc Salamence Jirachi Deoxys Fourth Generation Munchlax Bonsly (All your Bonsly are belong to Erik.) Mime Jr. Weavile
